I know, I don't use it since I'm worried it might come off.

Lets get our griddy hands on that Rage Spoiler. Its low profile like the SHO, but wide like the SLO. And it flows right on. I'm sure that should help somehow...

Mine doesn't have a SHO spoiler, but a full-size Gen. 3 spoiler, and I put it on to make the rear end more appealing (Gen. 3 Sables look a LOT better with a spoiler), plus it keeps my trunk from flying open when I unlock it with the key fob or driver's dash button.

Gen 3 Sho Spoiler... Does It Really Improve Aerodynamics?

A little thick on the sarcasm there buddy.


GAH the thought of drilling holes into my beloved bull.... anyone have an idea of how much a shop would charge to install an SHO spoiler? I'd paint it myself but well, number one I don't wanna drill into my car... I just feel like I'd twitch at the wrong moment. And two, which ironically is the bigger problem of the two (of which I am slightly embarrassed to admit), I don't own a drill... so even if I wanted to try putting it on myself, I couldn't.

A little thick on the silly question.

Sorry. I apologize. If people would read, you'd understand why instead of blurting out the 1st thought that comes to your mind. Not hard. You pretty much just insulted some engineer's work with your question right there...
